Listed separately from the 62163 entry as the core factory code for the Buschgrün family, Bush Green under code 218 represents the same essential color documented across different period cross-reference systems — a warm olive-sage solid green confirmed on 911 and 912 models from approximately 1966 to 1973. The Early 911s Registry's definitive color catalog lists 'leaf (aka busch-grün)' under codes 218, 7710, and L56, confirming the multiple-code documentation of the same formula. PaintRef records code 218 starting from 1967 Porsche models. The two Bush Green entries in the Stuttcars database (62163 and 218) represent the same fundamental color documented under different period cross-reference identifiers — a common occurrence in air-cooled Porsche color research where factory codes were revised or assigned differently by model year or market. Both entries share the character of a warm, muted olive-green that was a minority choice in period but holds strong collector appeal today as a distinctive alternative to the more commonly surviving Guards Red and Signal Orange long-hood examples.
